A temporary council has taken over the leadership of Iran and “has begun its work” after leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of the country’s senior commanders were killed in a major joint U.S.–Israeli military operation that started on Feb. 28.
On the second day of attacks, Israel conducted broad strikes on central Tehran. Iran retaliated, launching strikes on a widening list of targets in Israel and its Arab neighbors. Several people have been killed in Israel, the UAE, and Kuwait.
